THE GREAT NAPOLEON.
Wonderful Works OF Statesma mship' Ac'

Wonderful Works OF Statesma mship> Ac-
compllshed by tho Famous Warrior.
The battle of Austerlitz was fought
on December 2, 1905. Early in 1906
peace was made by the treaty of Pres
burg, and Napoleon returned to Paris
to occupy himself in consolidating his
influence in Germany by founding the
Confederation of the Rhine. 1t was at
this time, in the year 1906, when he
was in the zenith, or about the zenith
of his fortunes, that the portrait by
Longhi was taken. The face is cer-
tainly extremely handsome; there
is great refinement in the features,
and every indication of intellectual
power. The remarkable thing about it
is that it does not in the least suggest
q warrior; it is hard to imagine that it
is portrait of Napoleon, drawn in the
brief period which interviewed between
Austerlitz and Jena. 1t is, however, %
great mistake to regard Napoleon as
only, OF even chiefly, soldier; great
as he certainly was in the field, he was
equally great in the cabinet. No man
Of his day took hold of the work of
government with any thing approaching
the energy or capacity displayed by
him; no man of any day has ever sur
passed him. Roads, canals, colleges,
schools, civil rs well as military, all re-
ceived his attentions; reforms of admin
istration and of taxation, all the mani
fold tasks of government, were ap-
preached in an enlightened spirit, with
the clear good sense of a man of affairs,
and with an entire absence of the pref
udices so characteristic of this period.
Above all, his code, at which he en-
ployed the best lawyers of the day, and
which he pushed through to completion
in the comparatively brief period of
four years from its inception, feeling,
as he did. thorough conviction of its
prime necessity, in casting into the
form of law the great practical reforms
which had been brought in by the
revolution--this work stamps him as
being, beyond question, the most sound
and practical statesman of his time so
far as the internal management of his
country was concerned. In all this,
however, there was no philanthropy,
strictly so called. Napoleon was only
ruler, possessed of great power, hav-
ing comprehensive and clear mind,
fully acquainted with the needs of tho
public service, addressing himself to all
the tasks of government, and especially
to the task of improving the condition
of the population over which he ruled
with an energy, assiduity and intelli-
gence rarely, If ever. seen before. He
was not philanthropist, lot us admit.
but he was probably great deal het-
ter rnler than II he had been philan-
thropist. No sentiment ever disturbed
his vision or turned him aside from
carrying through what he deemed to be
a desirable reform,-Scribners Maga-

is nconceivable how their possession can be a

phcrnalia OF tho hospital or the rottng ccrc.
mcnts OF the grave
All of which is very sensible. The
South has no need of the battlc-hags.
We have said that they should be kept
as mcmentocs Of u mighty struggle.
Perhaps 1t is better that they should rot
away in the vaults Of the War Depart
mcnt Perhaps the sooner they rot the
better. So far rs we are concerned we
have no use for them, one way or the
other, prefcrring to turn our minds to
the victories that Peace has, no less
than War;
1t has been the history of mankind
in general. and no less of modern man,
that the issues of the present have
been less poten than the issues OF the
past. Humanity is always genera
ton behind its own interest. We
boast of the progress and the discov-
cries of our age. So did our fathers.
But why did their fathers, and why did
ours, leave so many things to be dis
covercdp Because they were always
fooling away their time on just such
ancient out-of-date nonsense as this
battle-hag outcry.
If half the thought and energy that
has been bestowed on victory already
securely won had been devoted to the
new conquests needing, and sadly
needing to be won, the world would
be much further advanced than it is
to-day But it seems the fate of human
beings to be always excited about
every thing else except what concerns
them. For this reason more than any
other they grovel and toll and suffer.
The moment they learn some sense
and forget all about war and its follies
and agonics they will begin to prosper,
and the prosperity will become gener-
al. What is the matter with Europe
to-dayp Every nation there is imbued
with exactly the Same instinct. and no
other, that animates the Republican
party of this country. 1t is the in
stinct of war. This war feeling leads
to big armies. and big army expenses.
The rc;slt is that the industrious toiler
is crushed to the earth.
On this side the war feeling does not
result in big armies. because it is so
plainly evident that they are not need
ed. But it disturbs our politics, and
leads to their being cast on lines en-
tirely inconsistent with the best inter-
csts of the country. Instead of think
ing about the matters of to-day we are
kept constantly in agitation about the
matters of II generation
ago. Greater folly could not even be
dreamed of.--Des Moines (La. Leader.

cago Book Agent.
A distinguished belle is book agent,
and she has in ten or twelve days made
herself singularly famous down town.
Her method is marvel of skill, aided
by natural advantage. The latter con-
sists of the ability to shed tears at will.
l do not know how she does it, but she
does. At precisely the time and place
for tears to be of value they drop from
her eyes and trickle down her cheeks.
Perhaps there is something the matter
with her tear ducts. but if there is
doubt if she would care to be cured.
She has been fooling the brokers
especially. She cutters an Office quietly
but firmly. and with no circumlocution
tells the boss that she wishes him to
buy book. He says no unhesitatingly
and perhaps Grossly. Then she turns
on the tears.
"What's the matter?" he asks.
30, nothing of any consequence"
she replies, making toward the door.
But he sympathetically begs her to
voice her grief, whereupon she tells
that she has been unable to sell n book
that day, that her poor old mother is
dependent upon her and that she is
downright discouraged. He purchases
one or more books instantly. - Chicago

How Bennie Saved the Bees.

Bennie felt very proud rs he sat on
the veranda that bright summer day.
At last he had a hat just like papa's-
clean, white, broad-brimmed one-no
baby hat about that; it was like what
men wear. 5t{
Suddenly there was a great uproar
from Uncle Johns garden, and Bennie
went out to see.
A swarm of Uncle Johns bees were
going away and they were beating on
old pans and kattles. thinking to cause
them to alight They We're coming
right over where Bcnnie was standing
"a great, black cloud of them.
Bennie thought he would do some
thing, too. He did not have any old
pan, but there was tho force-pump and
tub of water with which papa had
been sprinkling the garden. He had
heard that shower would cause them
to alight. and that wide sprinkler
would make shower.
He seized the hose and pointed it di-
rectly at the black cloud of bees; the
bees thought'a shower was coming and
they came down. .s,
There being no bushes near at hand,
they took the first place they could
find to light on, and that was on Ben.
nte's neW hat!
And Bennie's new hat was on Benz
MES own little head at the time-that
made 1t worse still. Luckily. Bennie
was too frightened to stir, and the
swarm was small one.
"Don't move, Bennie! stand still, for
your life!" shouted Uncle John; and
Bennie stood MS II he was block OF
wood, he hardly dared to breathe.
As soon as the bees settled fairly,
papa took Bennie's hat from his head
and shook the bees of into a hive
which Uncle John brought from the
shed. a sIin 81
Uncle John said Bennie had saved
the bees. so he gave them to him, and
they made lots OF honey for him; but

The steamship City of Sydney arrived
at San Francisco 4 few DAYS ago from
Hong Kong and Yokohama and gives
details of disaster occasioned by the
yellow river overlooking its banks in
the Province of Honau. China, describ-
ing it "a one of the most appalling oc-
currences in loss of life and property
recorded in recent times. The river
broke its banks on the evening OF Sep
temher Is southwest OF the city of
Chingchow, and not only completely
inundated that city, but also ten other
populOus cities. The whole area is now
a raging sea, ten TO thirty feet deep,
where it WAS once dcnsely populated
and rich plain. The former bed of the
river is now dry and the present lake
was the bed of the river centuries ago.
The loss of life is incalcuable, and the
statement is made by missionaries that
millions of Chinese are homeless aud
starving. Thomas Patton, one OF the
American missionaries, writing from
Hanau Province, under date of October
%, says:
"The newly gathered crops, houses
and trees are all swept away, involving
fearful loss of life. The country was
covered with fine winter grain, which
is gone and implies complete destruc-
ton to next years crop. Bread. bread,
is the cry of thousands who are on the
river bank. Benevolent people go in
boats and throw bread among the
masses here and there, but it is nothing
compared with the requirements. The
mass Of people Is still being increased
by continual arrivals more hungry than
the last. There they sit, stunned, hun
CRY and detected, without rag to wear
CT mOrsel Of food. Mat huts are being
erected for them. What it will be in
two months cannot conceive. The
misery is increased owing to the bitter
cold weather.
